Accelerating Green Hydrogen and Ammonia
Welcome to the H2C Registry, an initiative founded by First Carbon Investments and key industry participants, committed to accelerating global markets for low carbon hydrogen and derivatives.
We provide a platform for catalytic finance to aggregate global demand and deliver strong signals to investors to stimulate supply.
We provide systems and partnerships support green premiums set to accelerate giga-ton emissions reductions of CO2e in hard to abate sectors.
We are part of an ecosystem enabling the global transition to a low-carbon economy by facilitating interoperability between local markets, compliances and registry partners.
We are humble custodians of acceleration and happy collaborators in accelerants.
We invite partners to our ecosystem of producers, buyers and infrastructure providers to participate in the development of H2C and our members charter details how partners can contribute and collaborate.
H2C provides a book-and-claim registry for certifying and trading green premium certificates that document premium environmental attributes of production. Those certificates can be retired upon making a claim or interfacing with market mechanisms.
By unbundling the environmental attributes of hydrogen and ammonia products, we enable producers to sell their fuel at competitive prices while valuing the green premiums discretely from shipments, and backed by independent audited standards. This unitized model is designed to aggregate demand and create a strong signals to investors and stakeholders and the H2 ecosystem.
Our thesis is that market development requires large export grade producers to lead the way. H2C is designing for global markets as a key design principle, interfacing with relevant compliance mechanisms in each key market.
We welcome the support of a network of global partners to the H2C Registry, assisting development of green hydrogen and central to catalysing a transition towards a low-carbon economy. We are explicitly building a market where claimants for Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions can participate and benefit from green premiums.

What Are H2 and NH3 Certificates?
H2 and NH3 Certificates are a family of green premium certificates that represent the environmental attributes of hydrogen and ammonia products.
These certificates convey certified and audited information about the emissions reductions attributes of a metric ton of fuel. They are held in the H2C registry, a online book and claim system that enables certified rights to be booked, transferred and retired.
The purchase and retirement of H2C certificates enables holders to make claims about the provenance of hydrogen and ammonia products associated with their Scope 1-3 emissions disclosures. By facilitating the sale of fuel at lower base prices and financing green premiums separately, the H2C Registry aims to accelerate the adoption of these clean energy sources.
Developing H2C enables the financing of green premiums alongside the development of resilient global supply chains.
Developing the Hydrogen Ecosystem
Rapidly developing a global ecosystem for green hydrogen and derivatives requires contributions from global stakeholders.
Key challenges include clean tech development for producers and users; participation from Scope 1, 2 &3 claimants; financing green premiums; integration of global standards of governance, and expert development of market infrastructure.
H2C considers five key sectors as key to success and we’ve mapped in this diagram. The actual list of participants includes thousands of firms and bodies across the planet.
